Global Market Survey

The 2019 Survey is Now Open

Each year, CSA Research conducts a comprehensive survey to size and characterize the global market for outsourced language services.

The information you provide strengthens the quality of the information we make available to enterprises, government agencies, NGOs, and individuals that purchase your services, in addition to sizing the market.

Do you have questions about what is needed to complete the survey or questions about the survey process? Please read our Integrity Policy and feel free to contact us.

No matter where you are in the world, if you’re a language service provider or technology vendor, we want to hear from you!

Why should you participate?

You make your industry more visible.

The mainstream media regularly cites data from this survey in articles about the language sector. Information about the services available from LSPs, the size of the market, and the distribution of suppliers is interesting to business readers - and the companies that buy language services and technology. The expansive list of media outlets below shows you just how far this information goes. These outlets also ask us for insights and datapoints from our other research derived from the Global Market Survey.

You highlight the value of your profession.

The findings underscore the importance of the work that LSPs and technology vendors produce in supporting global communications, commerce, and diplomacy.

You get information about the market.

Companies rely on the rankings and results to benchmark performance against their competitors. LSPs that complete the survey will receive a 26-page report with data and insights to benchmark their business against the fastest growing LSPs, as well as an overview of the market as it stands in 2019 and where demand is driving it.

You can attract buyers’ attention.

Should you qualify for the regional or global ranking lists, your company will earn recognition among buyers of language services who otherwise may not know you exist. We have seen many buyers issue RFPs that specify they will consider only those companies ranked on CSA Research lists.
